Real-Time Security Monitoring for DAO & Governance Platforms

Stop governance attacks, treasury drains, and malicious proposals before they compromise your DAO's democratic processes or community funds with Guardrail’s real-time, continuous security monitoring for DAO and governance platforms.
Trusted by leading Web3 projects
Block flash loan governance attacks
detect voting power spikes and flash loan patterns before they can be exploited.
Secure treasury operations
monitor multisigs, treasury movements, and fund allocations to prevent unauthorized drains.
Validate proposal authenticity
analyze proposals for hidden functions or malicious code before community voting.
Audits Are Just the Beginning
Over 90% of hacks happen in audited protocols after deployment.
Static audits catch code bugs pre-launch, but can't defend against the live threats that emerge in production. Guardrail provides the continuous monitoring that protects your protocol 24/7 where real attacks happen.

Why monitoring?

DAOs have lost over $4 billion to governance attacks and treasury exploits since 2016. From the infamous DAO hack to the Beanstalk flash loan attack, governance vulnerabilities continue to threaten decentralized communities.
Flash loan governance attacks
where borrowed tokens grant instant voting power to push through malicious proposals.
Treasury management exploits
through weak multisigs or access controls that let attackers directly drain community funds.
Malicious proposal manipulation
with hidden functions that enable unauthorized treasury or contract changes.
Voting power concentration and whale manipulation
where large token holders or coordinated groups undermine democratic processes and community interests.

Real-time threat monitoring is now a baseline requirement for DAO and governance platforms

Frequently asked questions

Need more information?
What is real-time security monitoring for DAOs?

Continuous analysis of governance activity, voting patterns, and treasury operations to detect manipulation or attacks before they harm community funds.

How do flash loans threaten DAO governance?

Flash loans give attackers massive temporary voting power, allowing them to pass malicious proposals or seize treasury funds within one block.

Can Guardrail detect hidden risks in governance proposals?

Yes. Guardrail analyzes proposal code and metadata to identify suspicious logic or obfuscated functions before they reach the voting stage.

How does Guardrail protect DAO treasuries?

It monitors multisig operations, treasury transactions, and abnormal fund movements, instantly flagging any suspicious or unauthorized activity.

What happens if voting power is concentrated among whales?

Guardrail tracks voting distribution and alerts communities when concentration poses a risk, helping DAOs respond before outcomes are compromised.
